A 14-year-old boy with a loaded handgun was one of six teenagers involved in a "large fight" at Toledo's Westfield Franklin Park mall over the weekend, police said.
Toledo police officers who were working at the mall responded to the fight in the food court at about 7:40 p.m. Saturday where a crowd -- about 40 or 50 people -- was involved in a fist fight.
The 14-year-old with the revolver dropped the gun as he tried to leave the scene, police said. Another teen tried to pick up the gun but was then arrested.
Four juveniles were arrested and charged, police said. The 14-year-old with the gun and his 16-year-old brother were both charged with carrying a concealed weapon. The other boys were charged with disorderly conduct and obstructing official business.
The brothers, from West Toledo, were both ordered to be held in detention, said Lori Olender, a juvenile prosecutor. Another boy was issued a summons, and the fourth was released from the detention center and put on community control, Ms. Olender said.
Toledo police Sgt. Joe Heffernan said it's unclear why the fight started or if the brawl was gang related.
"We have this issue all the time," the sergeant said. "This isn't anything that's new. We go through these spurts at the mall, we have as long as I can remember. … It's not an every day thing, but it's nothing out of the usual."
A couple malls in GA have a rule that kids under 16 can't be alone at the mall without a parent. Black people can't behave themselves.
